Gemco has proven record of ethical dealings

Gemco Coins & Jewelry has been around for almost a quarter of a century — not an easy task
in this industry.

Many other coin and jewelry dealers have opened and closed in central Ohio over the past 25
years. Gemco owner Greg Martin has lasted and prospered over time, because he considers fairness
and honesty to be the most important business practices.

“I truly want you to get the best price for your coins and jewelry, and I will show you exactly
what your items are worth,” Martin said. “Not only do I show you what I will pay for it, I will
also show you what I will sell the item for."

In the July 17 edition of
The Columbus Dispatch, Martin lists current prices he is offering for various items. You
will not see any five-figure numbers, because coins worth tens of thousands of dollars are
extremely rare.

“The prices are the lowest I am offering — not the highest — and the prices are starting points
in most cases,” Martin said. “Your items could be worth more, and if you bring them in we can
determine the actual worth of your coins and jewelry.”

That figure could change based on the market, because those numbers fluctuate — just like the
stock market. For instance, a stock at 10 a.m. likely would have a different price at 4 p.m.

Examples of the types of jewelry Gemco buys include class rings or other types of rings,
necklaces, earrings, chains and bracelets, pocket watches — new or broken, used or unwanted. Martin
is interested in your gold, silver, platinum and, occasionally, costume jewelry.

Regardless of what you have in your possession, you will find that you can get the best price
for your jewelry and coins by taking them to Gemco.

“Someone came in to sell something, and I bought it for $100. He told me he had an offer for $40
from another place,” Martin said. “Why would you want to be that unfair with someone?”
